Does anybody have any tips for not hitting the yoyo into the counterweight string for the 5A butterfly trick? The yoyo and counterweight orbit planes are not parallel, but it still happens occasionally. Is there a way to keep them from syncing perfectly?

Keep your rhythm perfect. That is what helps me. And exaggerate the motion.
